My roles in the NHS have enabled a strategic view of clinical governance issues and enabled me to be directly linked to practice development in a range of areas. I have provided specialist advice across the range of health services and taken a lead role in developing a number of projects to establish new medicines services. This has involved translating theory and national guidance for implementation in practice through collaboration, policy development, education and advice to practitioners.

I value collaborative, multiagency approaches in healthcare and education, and I am passionate about promoting processes which support self-management and deliver personalised care.
My roles in the NHS and in higher education have embedded my focus on quality and I strive to promote and assure the best quality work. My professional aims are to influence healthcare practice through education and to promote safe, caring and personalised experiences for service users. I firmly believe that this is best achieved by working collaboratively to achieve the highest professional standards.
My recent doctoral study was inspired by my experiences of collaborating to deliver integrated care, and I have gained a great deal from investigating collaboration between patients and professionals in complex healthcare situations.
